Map data between steps

  1. Define the earlier node’s Output fields, including their types and required fields.
  2. Select the later node and use Add input from earlier data, or add an Inputs field manually.
  3. Choose its data source: Workflow inputs, an earlier step’s output, its Transcript, or a Fixed value.
  4. Match the source and destination types.
For example, collect a required order_number text field, then bind it to the matching input of Call MCP tool. Bind the tool’s result to the next conversation step so it can explain the result. The data picker explains unavailable choices. A field must be available on every incoming route: an optional field, skipped step, or unsuccessful tool result cannot supply a required value. Map data before a split, keep dependent work on its successful branch, or use separate destination steps.

Select destinations

Drag an outcome connector to another node, or set the destination under Routes in the inspector. Select an existing connection to Insert a step or Remove connection. Use the outcome’s + to insert a step on that route. Classify chooses a named label from text. Branch evaluates its ordered rules against bound inputs; the first match wins, otherwise it uses the fallback. See node types.

Handle unsuccessful outcomes

error and timeout use the single Failure end by default, if present. Expand Errors and timeouts to override them, for example with a brief explanation before ending. Other outcomes need explicit destinations:
  • rejected: the action was declined; offer an alternative or end.
  • denied: authentication did not establish access; follow the denied path.
  • unknown: an external action’s result is uncertain; arrange a status check or review before another attempt.
For final results, define Workflow output fields and bind matching inputs on the relevant End nodes. Do not depend on success-only data from a failure path.
